I and My Lucky Wave

I feel tired…stressed…unpleased…bored. I’m sick of school! I’m sick of homework! I’m sick of this dizzying rhythm I live day by day! I can’t suffer it anymore!
I’m going into my room, putting my headphones on and I want nothing else but listening to my favourite music and to be left alone! I feel overwhelmed by everything! School, homework, routes, tuition all the time and it goes on the same again and again. I feel like going around in a circle having no way to get out and I do not have time even for breathing. I feel I want to do something else…something I really like doing! I know I am a creative person, I have a lot of interesting ideas, I love drawing, dancing, expressing myself as I want to! I need to break out!
Since the beginning of this pandemic, everything seems to go crazy: going out with friends has considerably reduced, I can hardly understand the chatters at school because of these nasty masks that I can’t bear anymore, everything is different. When I don’t understand something I prefer to step back than to be taken as a fool. Wherever I go, the atmosphere is stressful, the people around are dissatisfied, worried, aggressive. I can see a lot of angry people who become impatient easily wherever they are: in a shop, bus or in the street. I am scared I can be like them! I must do something!
I’m taking a deep breath, lying in my bed and listening to my favourite music station. I’ve got bored of tiktok, facebook or insta. The headphones extremely increase the sound processor, so I can feel music flooding my body as it is all mine. Mmmmmmm!…I’ve already feel much better!
Oh! Wait a minute! Here are the advertisements again, when you don’t want to! Fantastic! Even in the middle of my favourite song! How dare they? Look! I cannot even listen to music without being disturbed! I breath deeply because I’ve decided not to get angry, even if I have 100 reasons to do it! I’m going to listen to all the advertisements, even if I know them by heart! I take it as a challenge to see how much I can resist. After the first two, I feel like my thoughts make my head thump! Really annoying! Wait a minute! What does it say? A project…teenagers…cochlear implant…What? What is all about? I’m trying to focus and to make sense of the advert. Too late! Ready! It’s over. That’s it, Gogule, if you are not attentive! That’s what my Romanian teacher sometimes says…It has seemed to be something interesting. I have nothing to do, but to wait for the next advertising break! I’ve never thought that I would wish something like this! I’m really funny! Anyway, till then I’m going to fill my time with something pleasant. I’m listening to music again. “You should always see the full part of the glass!”-that’s what my mum says all the time.
Oh! Wait a moment! The advertising break is coming! I’ve already got a pencil and paper in order to write all the important information. Woooow: WaveforMe, international project, teenagers, cochlear implant, free, online, creative workshops, art, culture, music, travelling exhibitions, online platform, influencers, international network, office.waveforme@gmail.com.
Now that I have written the contact address down, I can’t wait to write a message and to tell the ones in the project that I would very much like to sign up, to hold a spot for me. A spot just for me! I like it! WaveforMe…so just for me! A wave just for me! It can be a radio wave, radar or a microwave. Have you known that the wave propagation rate is equal to the light speed? I know it. I’ve learnt about it at the Physics class. I already feel important, I feel like flying across the galaxies, although I don’t even know if I am accepted in the project! If I could paint it, I would make it bright, with warm colours and round shapes. But, hold on! If I think clearly, “wave for me” in English means that you call me and wave for me, so you accept me the way I am and you want to meet me and even to become friends. I’ve already started to imagine myself making new friends within the creative workshops or at least meeting the old ones that I haven’t seen since I was in the camps two years ago. I can even meet foreign teenagers and we can write to each other in English. What about showing everybody how good I am at drawing and my work to be shown within the travelling exhibitions?
Wooow! What a discovery! I feel revigorated and any sign of tiredness has disappeared. I feel so enthusiastic that I can even start doing my homework. I’m going to write the message for “WaveforMe” and start doing my homework. It’s a good idea till I still have this mood. If I do my homework, time will pass easily till I get the answer of acceptance or refusal. The suspense is maximum! As soon as I find out, I’ll let you know too. Till then “Don’t disturb me!” can be seen on the sheet of paper that is hanging on my room’s doorknob. Goodbye!
